Hi, I’m Candis Carvey. I’m a Waco native, a Baylor Bear, a former social worker, an amateur crafter, a survivor of a complete home renovation, a volunteer, a creature of habit, a perfectionist, and a lover of fall, pumpkins, and mugs filled with coffee. Most importantly, I am a born again believer, a wife, a mom, and a loyal friend to many.
Nearly five years ago, I married my best friend Patrick, and eleven months ago I gave birth to our son William Patrick- we call him Will. When we found out we were having a baby, we decided not to find out the gender. It was an amazing experience and one that I’d highly recommend. My pregnancy was easy and my labor was long. Like 36 hours long. I opted to do this completely natural, so yeah, I’m some breed of crazy.
Life with my two boys is pretty good. Sometimes, I feel like I’m living a dream, and fear that I’ll suddenly awake and it’ll all be gone. Like many other moms, I struggle with fear and worry. I come from a long line of worriers and am determined to break the chain.
Even though I’ve only been a part of this group of women for a few months, I know that I’m already a better mother because of it. I fully believe that life is not meant to be journeyed alone. This becomes most evident when you are a new mother. If you are doing this alone, I urge you to go find your people. It may take you a week, a couple of months, or perhaps a year, but I promise you it’s a search worthy of your time. Since you have already found this group, you don’t have to look far. Hope to meet you soon!
